Creating value in fish packaging

At Seafood Expo Global in Barcelona (6–8 May), MULTIVAC will present processing and packaging solutions designed to enhance production efficiency and sustainability. The systems help extend the shelf life of fish, crustaceans and shellfish, while also ensuring an attractive product presentation at the point of sale. The showcase includes how delicate fish products can be safely and carefully packed using high-quality vacuum skin packaging.

A key feature of the presentation is the TX 620 traysealer. This compact and cost-efficient packaging machine responds to rising costs and increasing demands within the industry. Its space-saving design allows for easy integration into various production environments, with an optional dual-lane setup for added capacity. Sustainability plays a central role: the robust build reduces raw material use, and the machine can operate without compressed air or cooling water, depending on the application. A wide range of tray materials can be processed, including plastic and fibre-based options. For optimal product presentation, the traysealer is paired with the L 310 conveyor belt labeller, fitted with FullWRAP labels.

Also on display is the R 105 MF thermoforming machine. This compact stand-alone unit is built for producing high-quality MultiFresh™ vacuum packs. Its small footprint makes it ideal for smaller companies or operations requiring greater flexibility. The MultiFresh™ process delivers excellent packaging results, even for products with hard or sharp components such as bones or shells, or those that extend above the tray edge.

Finally, MULTIVAC will demonstrate the H 224 handling module — an advanced robotics solution for the automated handling of delicate fish products. During the expo, this will be shown with portions of salmon. Thanks to delta kinematics, the portions are placed into trays with exceptional precision and care.
